2.C ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
FT=CI=1.5
DURING THE LAST 24 HOURS, THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS STRENGTHENED
SOMEWHAT AND GAINED IN COVERAGE WITHIN THIS SYSTEM. ASCAT DATA OF
LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING SHOW AN ELONGATED AND ILL-DEFINED SURFACE
CIRCULATION CENTER. HOWEVER, THE OVERALL LOW LEVEL ORGANIZATION IS
SLOWLY IMPROVING. THE SYSTEM IS UNDER A MODERATE EASTERLY SHEAR
CONSTRAINT AND THE ESTIMATED CENTER IS LOCATED TO THE NORTH AND EAST
OF THE MAIN CONVECTION. THE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE IS RATHER WELL
DEFINED ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE.
SINCE 08Z, A STRONG BURST OF CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED TO THE WEST OF
THE CENTER. IN THE MEANTIME, THE CENTER SEEMS TO MAKE A WESTWARDS
LEAP ACCORDING TO THE SSMI OF 0942Z AND RECENT SATELLITE IMAGERY.
THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON INITIAL DVORAK ANALYSIS AND ASCAT
DATA.
THE SYSTEM IS MOVING OVER THE NORTHWESTERN EDGE OF THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE. ALL NWP GUIDANCE ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR A GRADUAL
POLEWARDS TRACK WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS A PERSISTENT WEAKNESS IN
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL MAINTAIN MORE OR LESS NEAR 70E.
THE LOW LEVEL INFLOW REMAINS GOOD EQUATORWARDS UNTIL WEDNESDAY
EVENING BUT REMAINS GOOD ON THE TRADEWINDS SIDE AT LEAST UNTIL FRIDAY.
THURSDAY THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE UNDER THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AND SHOULD
HAVE A 24 TO 36 HOURS PERIOD OF LIGHT SHEAR BEFORE AN INCREASE IN
NORTHWESTERLY SHEAR FRIDAY NIGHT. ALL THE AVAILABLE GUIDANCE DO NOT
DEVELOP A STRONG SYSTEM WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS ... SUGGESTING AT MOST
A MINIMAL TROPICAL STORM.
THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF THIS SYSTEM DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE ISSUANCE OF
REGULAR ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME.

DURING THE LAST 6 HOURS, DEEP CONVECTION REMAINS PRESENT MOSTLY IN
THE SOUTHERN PART. THE CENTER OF THE CIRCULATION IS STILL PARTIALLY
EXPOSED WITH A FLUCTUATING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. THE NORTH-WESTERLY
WIND SHEAR IS STILL MODERATE OR RATHER STRONG, WHEREAS THE UPPER
LEVEL DIVERGENCE IS GOOD.

THE SYSTEM IS MOVING OVER THE NORTHWESTERN EDGE OF THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE. NWP GUIDANCE SUGGEST A TRACK ORIENTED TOWARDS A PERSISTENT
WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THERE ARE MAINLY TWO SCENARIOS, A
SOUTHWARD TRACK LIKE GFS OR A SOUTHWESTWARD MOVEMENT LIKE CEP. THE
SECOND ONE,SUGGEST THAT THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSE TO THE EAST OF
RODRIGUES ISLAND, ON SUNDAY. THE RMSC OFFICIAL FORECAST FAVOUR THIS
LAST SCENARIO.

ON THIS PATH, FROM TONIGHT, THE SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE UNDER THE UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE AND SO HAVE A 36 TO 48 HOURS PERIOD OF LIGHT SHEAR BEFORE
AN INCREASE IN NORTHWESTERLY SHEAR SATURDAY. HOWEVER UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE WILL BE LESS CONDUCIVE. THEREFORE, THIS LOW SHOULD NOT
DEEPEN BEYOND THE MODERATE TROPICAL STORM STAGE.

NEXT WEEK, GRADUAL INCREASE IN WIND SHEAR AND THE LACK OF OCEANIC
CONTENT WILL LEAD TO THE WEAKENING OF THE SYSTEM.=

2.C ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
FT=CI=2.5-

THE SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED AN IMPRESSIVE CLUSTER OF DEEP CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH CLOUD TOPS TEMPERATURE AS LOW AS -91AOC ON N19
IMAGERY OF 2055Z. AVAILABLE FIX DURING THE NIGHT ALLOW SOME
RELOCATION OF THE 18Z ESTIMATE NEAR 13.9S-71.4E OR AROUND 30 NM TO
THE NNE OF THE PREVIOUS POSITION. THE CENTER IS NOW LOCATED UNDER THE
CONVECTIVE MASS AND THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OF THE CLOUD
PATTERN COMPARED TO 24 HOURS AGO. THE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE REMAINS
EXCELLENT OVER THE WESTERN AND ESPECIALLY THE SOUTHERN SECTORS WHERE
IT IS ENHANCED BY A REMOTE UPPER LEVEL LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED JET
STREAM.
THE CURRENT INTENSITY ANALYSIS IS BASED ON DVORAK AND IS LOCATED ON
THE UPPER SIDE OF THE CURRENT ESTIMATION.

THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY LOCATED TO THE NORTH OF A WEAKNESS OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE NEAR 70E IN THE LOW TO MID-LEVELS (FROM 850 TO 500
MB). TODAY, THE WEAKNESS SHOULD BACK OFF IN THE LOW LEVELS (SFC TO
850 MB) AS A TRANSIENT HIGH IS EXPECTED TO BUILD. BUT IN THE
MID-LEVELS (700 BUT ESPECIALLY AT 500 MB), THE WEAKNESS IS STILL
PRESENT ASSOCIATED WITH A RATHER WELL DEFINED RIDGE TO THE EAST OF
THE SYSTEM. BASICALLY, THE SPREAD IN THE FORECAST TRACKS IS STRONGER
COMPARED TO 24-36H WITH SOME WESTWARDS SCENARII, SEEN SINCE YESTERDAY
AND ALSO SHOWN BY THE EURO ENSEMBLE. THE GFS INSISTS WITH ITS MORE
POLEWARDS TRACK AND IS LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE. ALL
THIS DIFFERENCES SEEMS TO COME FROM A DISAGREEMENT ABOUT WHERE THE
STEERING LEVEL WILL BE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS ... THE LEVEL OF THE
STEERING FLOW IS LINKED WITH THE INTENSITY FORECAST. THE EURO 18Z RUN
SHOW A BACK OFF THE TRACK TOWARD THE EAST. THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK
IS CLOSE TO THE EURO-UK-GFS CONSENSUS AND FOLLOW A STEERING LEVEL
NEAR 700 MB IN AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK FORECAST.


ON THIS PATH, FROM TONIGHT, THE SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE UNDER THE UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE AND SO HAVE A NEAR 36 HOURS PERIOD OF LIGHT SHEAR BEFORE
AN INCREASE IN NORTHWESTERLY SHEAR FRIDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER THE UPPER
LEVEL DIVERGENCE IS EXPECTED SHOULD DECREASE AS SOON AS FRIDAY ... SO
THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE THAT THE SYSTEM INTENSIFY FURTHER THAT A
MINIMAL TROPICAL STORM.
SOUTH OF 20S, GRADUAL INCREASE IN WIND SHEAR AND THE LACK OF OCEANIC
CONTENT SHOULD ALLOW THE START OF THE EXTRATROPICAL PROCESS.=

TROPICAL CYCLONE 05S (FIVE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 439 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A
TIGHTLY WRAPPED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH SYMMETRIC
DEEP CONVECTION BUILDING VERTICALLY OVER THE CORE. A RECENT 100139Z
SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS THE LLCC REMAINS ALONG THE EASTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE DEEPEST CONVECTION WITH MULTIPLE BANDS OF
CONVECTION BUILDING FROM THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY ALONG THE WESTERN
HALF OF THE SYSTEM INTO THE CENTER. TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY
INDICATES A DENSE WARM CORE OF MOISTURE BUT A THIN RIBBON OF DRY AIR
HAS STARTED TO BUILD ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY. THIS DRY AIR HAS
NOT YET MADE IT TO THE CORE, BUT WILL HINDER STRONG DEVELOPMENT OVER
THE FORECAST PERIOD. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT TC 05S IS
LOCATED WITHIN A REGION OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR(VWS), WHICH WILL
PERSIST THROUGH TAU 72, WHEN MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES WILL LEAD TO
THE QUICK DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH LEVELS OF VWS (25 TO 30 KNOTS). SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THE VICINITY OF TC 05S ARE MARGINAL FOR
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT (27 CELSIUS), BUT THEY TOO WILL BECOME
UNFAVORABLE AFTER TAU 72, LEADING TO A WEAKENING OF THE SYSTEM. TC
05S IS TRACKING ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
(STR), BUT MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT THE STR WILL SHIFT EASTWARD
ALLOWING TC 05S TO SHIFT TO A MORE SOUTHWESTERN TRACK IN THE NEXT 24
HOURS. BEYOND TAU 96, INCREASING INTERACTION WITH THE MID-LATITUDE
WESTERLIES WILL LEAD TO THE DISSIPATION OF THE SYSTEM BY TAU 120.
MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO; HOWEVER
THERE ARE SOME DISPARITIES IN THE TIMING OF THE SOUTHWESTERN TURN
AND THE TIMING OF DISSIPATION. GIVEN THESE VARIABLES, THERE IS LOW
CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST TRACK. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
100600Z IS 12 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 102100Z AND 110900Z. THIS

OVER THE LAST 12 HOURS, THE CONVECTION AREA HAS SHRUNK AND WARMED UP.
IN THE MEANTIME, A CURVED BAND EMERGED AROUND THE CENTER, WITH AN
ESTIMATED WRAPING OF AROUND .4. AMSR2 0739Z MICROWAVE DATA DISPLAY A
CLOSED CONVECTION RING, LIMITED TO THE MID-TROPOSPHERE AND PROBABLY
FORMED THANKS TO LAST NIGHT STRONG CONVECTION BURST. IN THE LOW
LEVELS, THE EASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE STILL SEEMS QUITE POORLY DEFINED. THE
UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE HAS IMPROVED IN THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN
SECTORS, THE POWERFUL SOUTHERN OUTFLOW CHANNEL BEING MAINTAINED.

THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TRACKING WESTSOUTHWESTWARD, STEERED BY A LOW
TO MID LEVELS FLOW, NORTH OF A HIGH GEOPOTENTIAL CELL. OVER THE NEXT
24 HOURS, THE TRACK SHOULD BEND SOUTHWESTWARD. INDEED, WITH A LIGHT
INTENSIFICATION FORECAST, THE STEERING FLOW SHOULD GO UP ABOVE 700HPA
AND BE DRIVEN BY A RIDGE IN THE EAST AND A GEOPOTENTIAL WEAKNESS IN
THE SOUTH. AVAILABLE NWP AND ENSEMBLE FORECAST SPREAD HAS DECREASED,
THE OFFICIAL SCENARIO IS CLOSE TO THE ECMWF TRACK. AVNO IS AN OUTLIER
WITH ITS MORE EASTERN TRACK, LINKED WITH ITS STRONGER DEEPENING
FORECAST.

THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY UNDER THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. THE LIGHT SHEAR
WINDOW SHOULD CLOSE SATURDAY, WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE OF NORTHERN TO
NORTHWESTERN VERTICAL WINDSHEAR. HOWEVER, LOW LEVELS CONVERGENCE WILL
BE GRADUALLY DISRUPTED BY A DRIER AIR MASS WRAPING AROUND THE SYSTEM,
WITHOUT REACHING ITS CORE. THUS, THE SYSTEM SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE
MODERATE TROPICAL STORM STAGE. SOUTH OF 20S, GRADUAL INCREASE IN WIND
SHEAR AND THE LACK OF OCEANIC CONTENT SHOULD ALLOW THE START OF THE
EXTRATROPICAL PROCESS.=

REMARKS:
102100Z POSITION NEAR 15.9S 69.2E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 05S (FIVE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 542 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST OF DIEGO GARCIA, HAS TRACKED SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS A TIGHTLY WRAPPED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH
DEEP CONVECTION BECOMING MORE FRAGMENTED AND DISORGANIZED OVER THE
PREVIOUS 12 HOURS. A RECENT 101725Z 89 GHZ AMSU IMAGE REVEALS THE
STRONGEST CONVECTION HAS DIMINISHED IN MOST QUADRANTS EXCEPT FOR THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY. SCATTEROMETRY DATA FROM A 101726Z ASCAT-B PASS
DEPICTS A FAIRLY SYMMETRIC LLCC WITH 25 TO 35 KNOT WINDS SURROUNDING
THE SYSTEM, AND ISOLATED 40 KNOT WINDS WITHIN THE CONVECTION TO THE
SOUTHEAST OF THE CENTER. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A MARGINALLY-
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR (10-15 KNOTS) AND GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW. OUTFLOW HAS ALSO
IMPROVED ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL HOURS. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THE VICINITY OF TC 05S
ARE MARGINAL FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT (27 CELSIUS), BUT THEY TOO WILL
BECOME UNFAVORABLE AFTER TAU 48, LEADING TO A WEAKENING OF THE
SYSTEM. TC 05S IS TRACKING GENERALLY SOUTHWARD ALONG THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR), BUT MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES
THAT THE STR WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT WESTWARD AND NUDGE TC 05S
SOUTHWESTWARD DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD. PASSAGE OVER COOLER WATER
AND INCREASING INTERACTION WITH UPPER-LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW WILL
RESULT IN DISSIPATION OF THE SYSTEM BY TAU 72. MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN
FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THIS SCENARIO; HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME
DISPARITIES IN THE TIMING, INTENSITY, AND MOVEMENT OF 05S, AS IT
INTERACTS WITH THE RIDGE. GIVEN THESE VARIABLES THE CURRENT FORECAST
LIES CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS, WITH LOW CONFIDENCE.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 101800Z IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS

DURING THE LAST 6 HOURS, DEEP CONVECTION REMAINED CLOSE TO ITS
PREVIOUS LEVEL OF 06Z. MICROWAVE 39GHZ AMSR2 DATA AT 0821Z DO NOT
SHOW A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE LOW LEVEL PATTERN. VISIBLE IMAGERY
SHOW THAT CONVECTION IS CONFINED TO THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE, CLOSE
TO THE LLCC. PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY REVEALS THE ADVECTION OF DRY
AIR BY THE NORTH-WEST TO NORTH SECTORS OF THE CIRCULATION. THE
GENERAL FEELING IS THAT THIS SYSTEM IS ONLY MAKING A LIVING OF SORTS
DESPITE THE WEAKENED VERTICAL WINDSHEAR.

EX-BOHALE IS CURRENTLY TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARD, STEERED BY A MID
LEVELS RIDGE IN THE EAST AND A GEOPOTENTIAL WEAKNESS IN THE SOUTH.
AVAILABLE NWP GUIDANCE STILL OVERESTIMATE THE SYSTEM INTENSITY.THE
ECMWF MODEL REMAINS THE MOST MODERATE IN TERMS OF INTENSITY. THE
CHOSEN SCENARIO IS THUS CLOSE TO THE ECMWF FORECAST, WITH THE
INTENSITY FLUCTUATING AROUND THE CURRENT LEVEL DURING THE NEXT 24
HOURS.

THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY AT THE FAR WESTERN SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE. FROM SATURDAY, THE NORTHWESTWARD VERTICAL WINDSHEAR AHEAD A
NEW UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHOULD GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN TO BECOME MODERATE
THEN STRONG THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THUS, THE SYSTEM SHOULD WEAKEN UNDER
THIS UNFAVORABLE UPPER CONSTRAINT AND THE LACK OF OCEANIC CONTENT,
ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF 20S. FROM MONDAY, THE SYSTEM SHOULD CURVE
SOUTHEASTWARD AND FILL UP GRADUALLY.=

REMARKS:
112100Z POSITION NEAR 17.9S 67.9E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 05S (BOHALE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 637 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD AT
08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED (IR) SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS AN ELONGATED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
WITH A DIMINISHING CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS
THAT THE SYSTEM IS CONNECTED TO A DEEP MID-LATITUDE TROUGH TO THE
SOUTHEAST PROVIDING AN ENHANCED POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL. VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR (VWS) HAS STARTED TO INCREASE WHICH IS PUSHING THE DEEP
CONVECTION TO THE SOUTHEASTERN QUADRANT. THE CURRENT POSITION IS
BASED ON THE LLCC IN THE IR LOOP AND IS SUPPORTED BY AN 111704Z
METOP-B MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWING A WELL-DEFINED LLCC. THE INTENSITY
HAS BEEN LOWERED TO 35 KNOTS BASED ON THE DIMINISHING CONVECTION AND
DECREASING DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM ALL AGENCIES. TC BOHALE
IS TRACKING ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A LOW TO MID-LEVEL SUB-
TROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE EAST. THIS STR WILL REMAIN THE DOMINANT
STEERING MECHANISM THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. AS THE CYCLONE
TRACKS FURTHER POLEWARD SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL RAPIDLY
DECREASE. IN ADDITION, VWS WILL INCREASE AS A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THESE FACTORS WILL LEAD TO THE COMPLETE
DISSIPATION OF THE SYSTEM BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD OR
POSSIBLY SOONER. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN AGREEMENT ON THE
OVERALL SCENARIO; HOWEVER, THERE ARE VARYING DEGREES WITH THE
SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK. DUE TO THIS SPREAD IN MODEL GUIDANCE THERE IS
LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 111800Z IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 120900Z AND 122100Z.//

THE SYSTEM IS NOW CLASSIFIED AS POST-TROPICAL BASED ON PHASE DIAGRAM
ANALYSIS DERIVED FROM AMSU DATA ALONG WITH GFS PHASE ANALYSIS FROM
18Z CORROBORATED THE WINDFIELD DEFORMATION NOTED PREVIOUSLY WITH THE
ASCAT DATA. AS THE SYSTEM IS NOW OVER SST NEAR OR BELOW 26C AND
WITHIN AN INCREASINGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT, PARTIAL RAPID SCAT DATA
OF 2156Z STILL SUGGEST SOME 30-35 KT WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN
SEMI-CIRCLE ... SO THE INTENSITY REMAINS UNCHANGED.

THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD SOMEWHAT SLOWER
THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED, STEERED BY A MID LEVELS RIDGE IN THE EAST
AND A GEOPOTENTIAL WEAKNESS IN THE SOUTH.
AVAILABLE NWP MODELS ARE IN RATHER GOOD AGREEMENT FOR A QUITE RAPID
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST TRACK UP TO SUNDAY.

ON THIS PATH, THE ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO BECOME
INCREASINGLY BAROCLINE AND WV IMAGERY DEPICT AN INTERACTION WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH LOCATED TO THE WEST NEAR 60E . GFS AND THE EURO
SUGGEST THAT THE SYSTEM COULD MAINTAIN RATHER STRONG WINDS TODAY (NOW
REFLECTED IN THE CURRENT FORECAST) BEFORE WEAKENING MONDAY AND BEYOND
WITHIN A MORE UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT.=
